Rembrandt jest powszechnie uważany za jednego z najwybitniejszych artystów w dziejach sztuki. W malarstwie poruszał tematykę biblijną, mitologiczną, jednak szczególnym zamiłowaniem darzył portrety, które oprócz cech fizycznych w wyjątkowy sposób odzwierciedlały stan duszy portretowanych. Perfekcyjnie opanował światłocień, który pogłębiał dramatyzm i nastrojowość malowanych obrazów. Przełomowym momentem w karierze artysty okazał się obraz Lekcja anatomii doktora Tulpa, który przyniósł artyście sławę i poszerzył klientelę. Inne znane dzieła to Straż nocna, przedstawienia żony Saskii oraz liczne autoportrety.

These infamous posters were, in turn, central fixtures in Chinese homes, railway stations, schools, journals, magazines, and just about anywhere else where people were likely to see them.
